Is it now a month in? Damn the 30/31 day month deal and the fact it is November. Damn.
Also, I finally walked to Battersea Station and Chelsea and walked around the Tower of London for Hallowe'en. As I knew and have been finding out, this holiday isn't so big over here. I took the bus back from the Tower of London and it was pretty cool and here's why. All the public bus routes are farmed out to the lowest bidder among competing private companies (and they say Britain is more socialist than the US!) so they run it however they want as long as the provide the service requested. So I am waiting for the bus and sure enough this ancient double decker bus rolls up and I felt like I was back in the 1940s or something. It was really cool: I wish I had snagged a picture. Also it was so old, I was looking where to swipe my Oyster card and this transit worker chuckled told me to sit down and touch it to his reader. That was pretty funny. In other news, I am going to see a performance of Holst's "The Planets" tomorrow at the Royal Albert Hall. Also I should get some sleep
